Some have mentioned that it would be interesting to know which group posters to this thread are from, so if you feel the inclination please include this with your reply.



I received an email from someone who collects scales and weights, he said that number 244 (the spherical slotted weight that unscrews into two pieces) is an old ice weight. I did a lot of searching on the web and couldn't find anything on ice weights, so I emailed him asking for some more info but haven't heard back yet. So if anyone can shed some light on this, please let us know, or you have any antique books maybe you could take a look to see if they are described therein.

267 looks like it might be some kind of bullet 268 looks like a bayonet 270 looks to me like its a picture (painting/engraving or reproduction of same). The subject of the picture looks like it might be a hunting scene (with dogs, people on horseback and something in the middle near the bottom that is the object of the hunt, possibly a fox. You can see the word "Edward" followed by "V" with some more writing ("VA"?), no clue what it means. No clue as to the usage/purpose of the object either 271 looks like something for taking liquid from some kind of container (or putting it back into a container), the screw threads look like they screw into some kind of bottle or jar or something.

My guesses:

267 - Acorn nut - cheap variety.

268 - Bayonette?

269 - Small "propellor" or fan blade

270 - Edward Van Altena artwork...

Both correct

Propeller is the right answer.

Partial credit, not much though ;-)

Nope

Correct

The entire object in the photo is known by a specific term, this is what I'm looking for, the picture is just a part of it.

That's not what it's for.
